T EXERCISE FOR THE FAIR.

Fashionable Figures.

H0snAonAOho EhSuHoSs
Can you imagine woman seated on
her chair at home and poking one cheek
with one finger by the hour day after
day? Can you easily picture to yourself
another woman working her lower jaw
incessantiy and most vigorously an hour
or two every day for month? Yet this
il done by our sisters and our cousins and
our aunts all over town The reason
they do this is that they are not satisfied
with their faces. This one has a depres-
zion in her check, and that Is what she is
poking with her finger. She expects so
to strengthen the muscles in her cheek as
to make it full and plump and round, as
it ought to be, and used to be in her
babyhood. The other one Is working her
lower Jaw in order to develop the lower
part of her face, which she thinks is not
round and curving enough; or. if she Is
married she wants her face to look as
well rs the plumpest among her Lady
friends. There is a little book in current
use which gives the ladies' the necessary
instructions for poling this part of the
face and working the other, and it is this
little book that Is giving our women this
novel employment.
This manual for encouraging the vanity
of women also gives instruction iii the art
OF developing the arms and necks and
busts of the sex, but what 1t proposes for
them To do is only. after all, what they
are doing and have been doing always for
their own Improvement. a man exer-
cises for his health-a woman for her
looks. The growth of fashionable life,
with the attendant increase of the Use of
low neck dresses, has set many and many
hundreds of women who want to shine in
society to racking their brains and busy
ing themselves toward improving their
appearance. Many women who want TO
wear low ball and dinner dresses find
they have bothersornc bones i'm their
necks, which are quite useful in their
way, but have no right to expose them
selves lust where fair, smooth surface
is desired To sink these out of sight
amid the fulIness of a fashionable neck or
chest Is what Is giving many pugllist

The women are doing much, perhaps,
TO make themselves healthy and pretty
than they ever did or had chance to do
in modern times before. Horseback rid
ing, rowing. swimming, walking, exercis-
ing in gymnasiums- sparring, playing
games that strengthen muscles and de-
velop forms. and studying hygiene-with

Immigration to the United States
from Europe this year is larger than at
any period since 1850. Up to April the
arrivals at New York were 40,730. Dur
ing April "a ,a35 arrived, and still they
come in vast herds. Every ship is
crowded with impecunious, discon-
tented immigrants. Nearly every for
eign nationality shows an increase. The
European journals have been contrast
ing the prosperity of America with the
industrial depression prevailing in Great
Britain and Continental Europe. The
discontinued artisans of the cities have
taken these contrasts absolutely. In the
meantime the cry goes up from the
working masses of American cities that
labor is not yet highly enough paid,
and that eight hours are enough
work. The immigrants of to-
day who come to compete for
employment, and who are willing to
work for lower wages than the prevail
ing rates, will join the discontented in a
few months in proclaiming that they,
too, are under-paid and over-worked.
They will declaim against ''slave labor, =
''long hours and starvation wages, "
just as those who preceded them are
crying out to-day, although the hours of
toll are far fewer than in their own
countries and the wages three to four
times higher than in Europe. And what
is to be the remedy? Nothing, it would
seem, except education, which shall
teach the masses of the people that the
worker in every branch of industry can
not secure for his services more than his
labor will produce, and that those who
furnish the capital and experience to
carry on industrial and business enter
prises, and take the risk of loss, must be
allowed a fair margin of profit, or all
business will cease

once countless herds had been allowed
to exc out an existence, without moles-

A contemporary figures out that the
average" man of industry and prudence
may accumulate $4,000 at the age of Al
years. This is done by supposing him to
to earn an average of two dollars a day af
ter he becomes of age, or say $500 a year,
and to pay out only two-thirds of this sum
for living expenses. 1t may be compar-
atively easy for man having a good
trade to earn 5000 a year; but although
many families live on $400 a year, and
even less, it is not comfortable thing
to do, and the average man who earns
$500 a year will hardly restrict himself

THE LEGISLArIvE COUNCIL
Again Dlscuss the Water Bin-A
Weak Point.

The Legislative Council met yester-
day evening with President HadGen
and Messrs. Montgomery, Lee, Patter.
son, Rlndle, Graham and Kney pres
ent.
The President stated that be had
called the Council together to consider
the water bill that several prominent
citizens, among them Messrs. Overton
and Turley, had said to him that they
would 60 to the Legislature and oppose
the passage Of the bill II the interest
guarantee clause were left in it; that
the Water Committee had recon-
mended that the works alone should
be responsible for the bonds.
The entire Council was OF opinion
that the bonds without the guarantee
Of interest by the city would not be
taken by the capitalists. After long
discussion by the members OF the
Council and Mr.. John 0vsrton, IT,, OF
the Water Committee, the following
resolution was unanimously adopted:

THE SCHOOL CAILDREN
sAOuId Not He Left 60 the Mercy Of
County Courts.

The following communication Was
published in the Nashville Uaion, and
is reproduced in the APPEAL at tho re-.
quest of the writer:
The inequalities OF public school
facilities in d fferent portions of the
State is a crying evil. II is nothing but
fair that each child in the State should
have the same advantages and oppor-
tunitiee in the matter of public
schools. 1t is unfair and unjust that
the child In one county should get ten
months OF good schooling per annum.
and the child In some other county
should get only sixty days of inferior
schooling. They are oil children of the
same State. Residence in different
counties should not defeat the object
OF the law, which is to give every child
good common school education. Yet
We find that the child who ives in Glib
son or Davidson or Knox county gets
ten months free school per annum,
and the child who lives in some less
favored county gets only sixty days.
Inc reason is that In some counties
the Justices out of ignorance, caprice
or preJu lice refuse to levy sufficient
county tax. There should be some
thing like equality and uniformity in
the mater. What Ia the remedy ?
Take away the taxing power for chool
purposes from the County Court and
let the State fix an equal, fair and uni
form rate on proper ty, poll and priv. |
lege for public schools through
out the State. This will rem
edy the evil, aud the children
will then have uniform aud equal
advantages. The common schools are
peculiarly under the protection of the
Legislature. II the Leg stature levies
Tor schools a tax OF one mill on the
SlO0 only, and depends on the County
Jourt to supplement that by addition
u and increased county taxes, then
he rights and education OF the chill
iren are put at the mercy OF the
Jounty Courts, and they, In many
counties, refuse to levy sufficient
axes, and as a consequence the chill
lren are deprived of an education.

O'NEIL MAY BE CLEARED

NEW YoRK, January 27.-An even

named Kate Fox. She was living at
